"The Aegis BMD system is the linchpin of the Obama administration's plan for a missile defense umbrella in Europe intended to protect U.S. forces and NATO allies from Iranian short- and medium-range ballistic missiles."
Do your homework. (although I did mislabel the missile system, its aegis, not patriot that are being used here)
Well, I'm European and you can't expect me to know details about every military protection plan from the US administration (which are surely a lot), can you?
Googeling it wouldn't have returned useful information with two wrong facts I guess ;)
...and by the way: your link said nothing about the Ukraine! :D :D So again, look at google maps!
edit: as for nothing being said about ukraine, well......America hasn't gotten the Ukraine under its grips yet? Do I have to spell this out to you? seriously man.
